Letters Patent No. 101,202, dated llfarch 22, 1870.

IMPROVEMENT IN VAPOR-BURNERS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same To all whom it may conce/rn Beit known that I ALBERT F. ZIEGLER, of the city of Columbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Vapor-Burners; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description of the same, reference being had to the drawings hereto attached, forming a part of lthis specification. V

The nature of my invention consists in making the gas-chamber and its heating-arms all from a single piece of tubing, thus providing the upper part of my burner with two arms, already grooved on their upper surface and curved in an ogee-form, so as to be adapted for continuous contact with the lower edge of' the llame as vit is emitted from the burner, thus conforming to the natural contourof the flame, and, by contact for its whole length with the flame, securing from it sufcient heat to volatilize the Huid, generate the gas, and avoid the necessity of a second jet for that purpose.

To enable others fskilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its coni stmtionand operation.

Figure re'presents alamp, A, with burner B attached.

Figure II, theburner complete, with its arms C C and openings D D D D.

Figure III, alongitudinal sect-ion of gas-chambervE.

Figure 1V, generating-chamber F.

Figure V, packing-tube G.

Figure VI, the nib, with slot H, to be placed in the per part Oi' the gas-chamber E, between the' arms I construct the gaschamberE, Fig. III, of copper tubing, by sawing or splitting from above downwarda suflicient length to form the arms C C. These are then bent `outward. and upward, as shown in Fig. II,

so` as to conform with the shape of the llame.

I construct the generatingrchamber F, Fig. IV, I

also of' copper, so as to insure a more perfect diffusion of heat. y

The packing-tube G, Fig. V, is made of brass tubing, so as to prevent the charring of the packing anda descent of the heat' to the key, it conducting heat in a degree much less than copper.

For packing I use the ordinary candle-wicking, sometimes using a tine wire-gauze on the upper end -of packing-tube.

I am aware that separate curved heating-pieces or arms have been brazed o r attached to burners, and projecting in opposite directions. p

I claim a vapor-burner in which the gas-chamber E and the grooved arms G ,C are made from a single piece of' tubing, cut or split longitudinally far enough to fo'rm the arms C O already grooved, and having a nib, H, inserted at the junction of the arms, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

ALBERT F. ZIEGLER.
